Welcome to Wroxham and Hoveton Lions Club

First things first………. who are the Lions?

Lions are ordinary men and women, from all walks of life, that care for their community and want to take the opportunity to give something back.  Our motto of which we are very proud is “We Serve”.  Lions are members of Lions Club International, the world’s premiere Community service organisation, dedicated to the idea that men and women who live in a Community are in the best position to know who needs help and why. Local Clubs are part of the world’s largest such organisation, with 1.4 million members serving in more than 200 countries.

The association is non- political and non sectarian.

Wroxham & Hoveton Lions Club was formed in 1976 and covers the parishes of Wroxham,  Hoveton, Salhouse, Rackheath, Horstead, Coltishall, Ashmanhaugh, Tunstead, Neatishead and Horning. Our membership currently stands at 26 and we are always looking out for new members. The club meets at 8pm on the second and fourth  Tuesday of each month in the Broadland Youth & Community Centre, Stalham Road, Hoveton and all are welcome.

We are a very active club and whilst our charity shop situated in the Riverside Precinct, Hoveton is our main source of income, additional funds are raised through craft fairs, furniture sales, our precinct tombola, the mobile tombola and our street collections. During December our Santa sleigh visits the villages in our area as well as Roy’s of Wroxham and Tesco’s Stalham. However the largest fundraising event is our annual Charity Motor Show & Family Fun Day which is held in early August at the Norwich Rugby Club Ground, North Walsham Road, Norwich NR12 7BW with half the proceeds going to the East Anglian Air Ambulance with the remainder going to a different charity each year. Because the Lions do not have paid executives and members give freely of their time we can ensure that, after the deduction of essential expenses all monies raised throughout the year are distributed to many local charities and worthy causes that we support.

We can only make these donations because of your generosity.
